Washington Nationals @ Cincinnati Reds
PICK: Washington Nationals
The Washington Nationals have had a lot of embarrassing moments this season, but this one has to rank high: Seeing Josh Fogg listed as a $1.40 favorite against them. Oh, the shame.
I'll fade Fogg at that price, especially with Tim Redding on the hill for Washington.
Redding certainly is no superstar, but he's the one pitcher the Nationals seem to respond well to. Washington is 14-4 in Redding's starts this season. They are 6-1 in Redding's road starts.
Fogg is getting the nod here because Aaron Harang's start has been pushed back. It's Fogg's first big-league start since going on the DL last month because of back spasms.
These are Fogg's numbers on the season: 28 1/3 innings pitched; 39 hits, 31 earned runs and a 9.85 ERA. He has a 13.81 ERA in his three starts. No pitcher should be this big of a favorite with those numbers.
The Reds have bullpen fatigue issues, too. Closer Francisco Cordero and setup man Jared Burton have each worked the past two days with Cordero throwing 34 pitches.

Today's Pick: CHICAGO WHITE SOX
The A's have won the first two games of this series but the White Sox should have the advantage here. Even including the results from Thursday and Friday, the Chisox are still averaging a healthy 5.7 runs per game at home, a full run more than Oakland's 4.7 mark on the road. Smith gets the call for the A's and he's got a 3.56 ERA and 1.204 WHIP on the road. Solid numbers but they aren't as good as Gavin Floyd's home stats. Indeed, in nine home starts, Floyd has gone 6-1 (Sox are 8-1!) with a stellar 2.87 ERA and 0.989 WHIP. Note that Floyd will have the advantage of starting against the A's for the first time while the Sox saw Smith back in April. With the Sox at 9-4 as home favorites in the -125 to -150 range, let's look for Floyd to continue his success here. Consider a play on CHICAGO.

Saturday selection is the Minnesota Twins.
I now look towards Minnesota for an easy winner today. After thanks to the Indians continuing to suck having now lost their last 6 games and 12 of their last 16 it?s pretty easy to go against the Tribe right now. Especially when you factor in that Minnesota is red hot winning their last 4 and 17 of their last 21. Even better it?s the Twins who will have the edge on the mound as Slowey 2-0 over his last 3 starts with an ERA of 0.46 goes up against Laffey who is winless over his last 3 starts. Flat out the Twins are playing their best baseball of the season and I see them continuing to shine today at home against a struggling Cleveland team.

Los Angeles Angels
The Angels send John Lackey to the mound Saturday. Lackey is having an incredible year with a 6-1 record and posting a 1.44 ERA. The Angels are 7-2 overall in his starts this year. He is 3-0 in his last year starts posting an ERA of 0.74. WOW! The Angels are 36-15 in Lackey's last 51 starts and they are 40-18 in his last 58 starts as a home favorite. The Angles are 62-25 in their last 87 games during game 2 of a series. The Blue Jays counter with Roy Halladay who has had a great year himself. However, he has struggled against the Angels going 2-5 in his last 7 starts vs. the Angels. Put that with the fact the Blue Jays as a team are 2-6 in the last 8 meetings against LA and they are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings in Los Angeles we will make our selection today on the Los Angeles Angels!
